These Cortrex® Vegetarian Capsules by Thorne Research offer multi-faceted nutritional support to promote healthy adrenal function‚ which can support the body’s natural response to stress. Cortrex was designed to supply the body with nutrient‚ botanical and glandular nutrition to help the adrenal system do its job. This supplement is believed to help support and maintain both mental and physical stamina. And‚ as you’ve come to expect from the experts at Thorne Research‚ Cortrex is made to conform to the utmost quality standards. This supplement is free of preservatives‚ lubricants‚ diluents‚ and lubricants.

What is Cortisol?

Cortisol is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body‚ in the adrenal glands‚ to deal with periods of stress. It is essential for regulating blood sugar and maintaining fertility‚ immune functionality and overall mental and physical stamina. Under normal circumstances‚ the body’s adrenal glands are built to cope with the demands that life puts on us. However‚ when you’re faced with periods of chronic stress‚ your adrenal glands can become tired from all the extra work. This can eventually lead to problems that can be seen throughout the entire body.

When the body is short on cortisol‚ you may feel tired or run down on a regular basis. You may also feel muscle weakness and joint pain‚ or you may experience unexplained weight loss.

How Do Adrenal Glandular Tissue Extracts Help?

Adrenal glandular tissue extracts help by supporting healthy cortisol levels and immune system function. This is because these tissue extracts play an essential role in supporting the adrenal glands. Cortrex‚ by Thorne Research‚ delivers a formulation of adrenal glandulars along with nutrients to best support your overall adrenal function and allow you to maintain optimal cortisol levels.

In this supplement‚ whole adrenal tissue and adrenal cortex make up part of the formulation that specifically is designed to tonify the adrenal glands.

Supporting Ingredients in Thorne Research’s Cortrex

Licorice root (also known as Glycyrrhiza glabra) was included for its modulating effect on cortisol activity. Among all herbal remedies‚ licorice root is believed to be most effective at modulating cortisol. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine because practitioners believe it can enhance the potency of any cortisol that is being produced by the body by inhibiting the breakdown of cortisol in the liver.

Whenever treating a condition in the body whereby a system seems to be malfunctioning‚ it is important to ensure the body has adequate nutrition to support such functions. This is why Thorne Research includes vitamins in its Cortrex supplement. The specific vitamins that were included were chosen because of their supportive and strengthening roles in optimizing adrenal function. Those vitamins include zinc‚ ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C)‚ thiamine (vitamin B1)‚ riboflavin‚ phosphate (vitamin B2 in its active form)‚ pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and pyridoxal phosphate (vitamin B6 in its active form).

Ratings & Reviews

Great Product and Very Affordable!

I was diagnosed with severe Adrenal Fatigue by my doctor, and Cortrex by Thorne Research truly saved my life. The Licorice root and Adrenal Bovine help my adrenals support themselves. It gives me energy without the shakes and anxiety normally associated with 'energy' products, and it provides my body with the B-vitamins that are so hard to find in a vegetarian diet. It is also hypoallergenic, which is great because I have so many sensitivities. I have been using Cortrex for 1 year, and will continue using it because it has helped improve my condition, and this site offers such an amazing deal!

Cons

Fresh, Affective and Professional Grade.

In order to rebuild my immune and hormonal systems, I purchased Cortrex by Thorne Research as my Natureopath's suggestion. The benefits were noticeable immediately with increased energy and mental clarity. I am excited about getting well and will keep using Cortrex as it's potency can be depended on. I am taking 2 tablets a day at this point.

Pros

The pros are simple: It is easy to swallow, a little goes a long way and it is priced right as well as easily assimilated into my system. It works without noticeable side effects that I can detect.

Cons

So far I cannot see any 'Cons'.

Prescribed by my doctor

Cortrex by Thorne Research was prescribed by my doctor to help my low cortisol levels. I think it has helped. I have a real problem with fatigue and using this along with my Thyroid medicine I have seen improvements.

Pros

Cons

I hate having to take a big vitamin everyday. I hope they come out with a gummy version, but I doubt that will be anytime soon.

New to Cortrex

My naturopath prescribed Cortrex by Thorne Research in early November. I have had no side effects, but cannot say if it has helped. As it is a chemical that deals with the endocrine system, this may take a while to show any real effect.

Pros

Easy to take. Not terribly expensive.

Cons

Nothing.

Great product

I have been taking them since May for my adrenal fatigue. I only take one a day, unlike someone else who stated they take two, one in the afternoon when they start to crash. I know if I take two in the morning I'm tired but haven't tried splitting it up. Usually buy them at my doctors office, first time ordering them on line, but would do it again! Received them in like 2 days!
